Reagan's budget will affect
WASHINGTON (AP) ? With impacts ranging from dimes to 1
thousands of dollars, President Ronald Reagan's budget will I
reach out and change the lives and finances of millions of
Americans?students and the elderly, veterans and i
housewives, doctors and lawyers.
The fiscal 1985 budget talks of millions and billions of :
dollars, but the real impact is in the budgets of American <
families where the numbers are just plain old dollars, often
I hard-earned and carefully spent.
^ For families with students in college or about to get there,
Reagan's budget would both give and take away.
For the neediest students in college in the 1985-86 academic
year, Reagan would raise the maximum amount of Pell self

But middle- and lower-income families would be required to
pay more of their income to cover college costs, and students
would be expected to put up $500 befor " could qualify at
all. Those changes would cost about 3v. 0 students their
grants.
In addition, all students would be required to show financial
need to receive government-guaranteed loans. Currently, only
f those from families with incomes of more than $30,000 are required
to demonstrate financial need.
For the elderly person paying for supplemental health insurance,
Reagan's budget would mean 40 more cents every
month in premiums, going from $17.30 to $17.70.
For poor people who need medical care, the Reagan budget

Reagan proposed that non-working spouses be allowed to
set aside up to $2,000 a year in an Individual Retirement Account,
far more than the current $250 limit. And divorced
women would be able to count alimony payments to qualify
for IRAs as well.

Doctors' fees under Medicare would be frozen at July 1984
levels, if Congress goes along with Reagan's plans.
And the Republican incumbent is continuing his efforts to
kill the Legal Services Administration, which provides legal
advice to the poor. That agency has been a thorn in Reagan's
side since he was governor of California.
Even the average taxpayer and worker faces changes if the
president's plans go into effect.
There will be more scrutinity from the Internal Revenue Service,
which wants to go over 1.5 million income tax returns
with a fine-tooth comb in the coming fiscal year, up from
about 1.4 million.
About 60 million workers also would be taxed for the first
